Wikipedia says: \" '\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_California\" target=\"_blank\">Southern California\u003c/a>' is not a formal geographic designation and definitions of what constitutes southern California vary.' \" (Likewise, \"\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California\" target=\"_blank\">Northern California\u003c/a>\" is not a formal geographic designation, but in terms of state of mind, we like to think if you find yourself in a discussion as to who has the best artisanal doughnuts, you're in Northern California, no matter where you are.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the Hunter Pence-Yasiel Puig All-Star voting divide. The Giants' Pence is vying with Dodgers' rookie phenom Puig and three other players to become the \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2013/fv/ballot.jsp?tcid=ASG13_News_Story\" target=\"_blank\">final selection\u003c/a> on the NL team.

The green-shaded parts represent areas that voted for Pence, whereas the orange-shaded area is solid Puig territory. Using this criterion, we are positing that Southern California now officially starts at Tulare County, with Mono County encroaching upon what is clearly The North and thus engaging in a Pence-insulting provocation that is likely to lead to civil war, or at least more stuff like \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/the-daily-need/splitting-california-in-two/10504/\" target=\"_blank\">this\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102975\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 206px\">\u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/visualization/all_star/y2013/final_vote/\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102975 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/07/PencePuig.jpg.png\" alt=\"The Pence/Puig All-Star Divide, visualized.\" width=\"206\" height=\"241\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pence/Puig All-Star Divide, visualized.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online voting ends Thursday at 1 p.m. The Giants and their fans are doing their best to promote Pence ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>Now trending in SF - \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23VotePENCE&src=hash\">#VotePENCE\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— #VotePENCE (@SFGiants) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFGiants/statuses/354356851363676163\">July 8, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>... but so are the Dodgers and their tribe of followers for Puig ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>You can \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23VotePuig&src=hash\">#VotePuig\u003c/a> online: \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/3Ep1Ol3JpQ\">http://t.co/3Ep1Ol3JpQ\u003c/a> or text N5 to 89269! 63 minutes left for your chance to win: \u003ca href=\"http://t.co/nVYAD9v2dt\">pic.twitter.com/nVYAD9v2dt\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Dodgers/statuses/354354284558684160\">July 8, 2013\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Giants fans, if you need any more incentive to weigh in, consider this from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2013/7/8/4503826/vote-pence\" target=\"_blank\">McCovey Chronicles blog\u003c/a> today:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>There are a lot of reasons to keep Yasiel Puig out of the All-Star game.

The Giants' Pence is vying with Dodgers' rookie phenom Puig and three other players to become the \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/mlb/events/all_star/y2013/fv/ballot.jsp?tcid=ASG13_News_Story\" target=\"_blank\">final selection\u003c/a> on the NL team.

He said afterward that he was motivated by the prestige, not the $10,000 prize money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d do this for nothing,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas, a 100-pound dynamo known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, wolfed down nearly 37 wieners to narrowly eke out her own victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chestnut, 29, is a seven-time winner who set the old record — 68 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes — in 2009 and tied it last year. Thomas, 45, powered through 45 dogs to take the women’s championship last year and also won in 2011, the first year women competed separately. \u003c!--more-->Chestnut, who weighs 210 pounds, had said his pace was uneven in the past, but “this year I’m trying to eat a little more gracefully, conserve my energy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second-place finisher was Matt Stonie, who chomped down 51 hot dogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this year’s victory, Chestnut has now bested his former rival, Takeru Kobayashi, who won six times. Kobayashi competed in a different eating contest Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas went toe-to-toe with Juliet Lee for the $5,000 women’s prize. Thomas finished with 36 and three-quarters dogs; Lee ate 36 wieners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas said the challenge of shoveling down dozens of franks is actually “more mental than physical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to fight with myself, so I’m going to try to really focus,” said Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., where she manages a fast-food restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now in its 98th year, the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest draws crowds of thousands to marvel at contestants cramming frankfurters down their throats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginger Perry, 47, of Obion County, Tenn., said she and her family planned their New York City vacation around the contest after watching it on TV in past years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry was impressed that Coney Island has recovered so well from being slammed by Superstorm Sandy last October. “It’s amazing to be here and that they rebuilt so quickly,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hot dog contest took place despite concerns about a swaying, shuttered observation tower that spurred the closure of parts of the nearby amusement park. The shutdown didn’t affect Nathan’s, but Coney Island’s famous Cyclone roller coaster and other rides were closed, and workers were using a crane to dismantle the tower.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But now he’s gotten to the point where he’s taken a big step back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How has he declined?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: Even transferring from his wheelchair to his bed is painful. His body stiffens up if he’s not continually moved, which is why we’re trying to stand him every hour for two minutes. But with the lack of therapy, he’s gaining weight, which makes it harder for us to do that. At the live-in facility, he was also getting psychological therapy, which he doesn’t get now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: So who is taking care of Bryan at your parents’ home?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: My parents hired someone for three hours in the morning to get him up and showered, and three hours in the evening.

Have the donations you were receiving after the attack slowed?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: Yeah, but I don’t want to take away from the donations we are getting. Of course they help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Are the Giants helping out?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: Tim Lincecum donated to his fund in the beginning and Barry Bonds donated money for the kids’ education. We get texts from the Giants to make sure we’re doing OK. Tim Flannery did a couple of fundraisers. They treated us to the World Series game. They’ve been supportive in making us feel like part of their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How is Bryan doing in terms of his overall recovery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: Well, he lived. That’s big progress. His memory is pretty good. He has moments he doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast. He’ll sometimes use a word that’s not what he meant to say, and it doesn’t make sense. But he’s doing really well when you look at him. His body just needs to catch up. And, in order to do that, he needs his therapies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: And how well is the family coping now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: I feel like this is a different chapter. We’re all in Santa Cruz County, so we’re all here and we’re able to help, so we have the support of each other. We’re coping in the sense that we’re together and we’re doing it as a family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Common Situation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a situation no one ever plans for, of course. I asked Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation who specializes in private health insurance, how often someone who is seriously injured gets sent home from a live-in facility. Stow is still covered by his employer through COBRA, and Pollitz said job-based insurance limitations on coverage for rehab services are common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One common limit is on days or rehab visits a plan will cover in a year or relative to a particular accident or injury. The second (is that) plans will only cover care that’s medically necessary, and the definition of that with respect to rehab may have something to do with whether you’re still on a trajectory to return to the level of health and function prior to the injury or accident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Pollitz said, there is no definition of what’s “medically necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has been a long-running discussion,” she said. “What should be the standard for covering medically necessary rehab services that are required over the long term? Is it that you’re eventually going to get better, eventually achieve a certain level of improvement, or is it to prevent further deterioration?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Pollitz whether the Affordable Care Act, which goes into full effect in 2014, could help Stow. It won’t, she said. The 30 hours per year for different rehabilitative services that his family says Stow is now approved for is similar to the standard that plans offered through California’s health exchange will operate under. So, even though people like Stow, who have a long-term injury, will be able to buy insurance, they would still run into the same limits on rehab services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what do you do when an unthinkable tragedy like this strikes? The Stow family is fortunate — if you want to call it that — in the respect that the attack received so much publicity that donations were able to help defray the cost of his recovery. And of course, they may or may not receive money from the Dodgers through their lawsuit. But not everyone gets a fundraising \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/02/video-barry-bonds-asks-for-help-for-bryan-stow-kids-college-fund/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video made on their behalf by Barry Bonds.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollitz said the best option for people in Stow’s situation who can’t afford long-term care may be Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California), which has no limits in getting rehabilitative services at a live-in facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the huge differences between Medi-Cal coverage and private insurance coverage is that (Medi-Cal) doesn’t limit these services, either for medically necessary reasons or dollar limits. This distinction between (what’s) care to improve or care to maintain … that gets blown away under Medicaid. It’s all covered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might, however, require “spending down” — reducing your assets in order to qualify for the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll check in with the Stow family as events develop. For now, here’s a video they posted that documents Bryan’s recovery …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0Nfgxj6xG4]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Of course they help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Are the Giants helping out?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: Tim Lincecum donated to his fund in the beginning and Barry Bonds donated money for the kids’ education. We get texts from the Giants to make sure we’re doing OK. Tim Flannery did a couple of fundraisers. They treated us to the World Series game. They’ve been supportive in making us feel like part of their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How is Bryan doing in terms of his overall recovery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: Well, he lived. That’s big progress. His memory is pretty good. He has moments he doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast. He’ll sometimes use a word that’s not what he meant to say, and it doesn’t make sense. But he’s doing really well when you look at him. His body just needs to catch up. And, in order to do that, he needs his therapies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: And how well is the family coping now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BONNIE STOW\u003c/strong>: I feel like this is a different chapter. We’re all in Santa Cruz County, so we’re all here and we’re able to help, so we have the support of each other. We’re coping in the sense that we’re together and we’re doing it as a family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Common Situation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a situation no one ever plans for, of course. I asked Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at the Kaiser Family Foundation who specializes in private health insurance, how often someone who is seriously injured gets sent home from a live-in facility. Stow is still covered by his employer through COBRA, and Pollitz said job-based insurance limitations on coverage for rehab services are common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One common limit is on days or rehab visits a plan will cover in a year or relative to a particular accident or injury. The second (is that) plans will only cover care that’s medically necessary, and the definition of that with respect to rehab may have something to do with whether you’re still on a trajectory to return to the level of health and function prior to the injury or accident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Pollitz said, there is no definition of what’s “medically necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has been a long-running discussion,” she said. “What should be the standard for covering medically necessary rehab services that are required over the long term? Is it that you’re eventually going to get better, eventually achieve a certain level of improvement, or is it to prevent further deterioration?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Pollitz whether the Affordable Care Act, which goes into full effect in 2014, could help Stow. It won’t, she said. The 30 hours per year for different rehabilitative services that his family says Stow is now approved for is similar to the standard that plans offered through California’s health exchange will operate under. So, even though people like Stow, who have a long-term injury, will be able to buy insurance, they would still run into the same limits on rehab services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what do you do when an unthinkable tragedy like this strikes? The Stow family is fortunate — if you want to call it that — in the respect that the attack received so much publicity that donations were able to help defray the cost of his recovery. And of course, they may or may not receive money from the Dodgers through their lawsuit. But not everyone gets a fundraising \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/02/video-barry-bonds-asks-for-help-for-bryan-stow-kids-college-fund/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video made on their behalf by Barry Bonds.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pollitz said the best option for people in Stow’s situation who can’t afford long-term care may be Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California), which has no limits in getting rehabilitative services at a live-in facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the huge differences between Medi-Cal coverage and private insurance coverage is that (Medi-Cal) doesn’t limit these services, either for medically necessary reasons or dollar limits. This distinction between (what’s) care to improve or care to maintain … that gets blown away under Medicaid. It’s all covered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might, however, require “spending down” — reducing your assets in order to qualify for the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ll check in with the Stow family as events develop. For now, here’s a video they posted that documents Bryan’s recovery …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s certainly what San Jose is hoping for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other legal opinions expressed on the Web concur with McCann’s view that San Jose is unlikely to forge new ground here, no matter how just its cause. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23485245/san-jose-sues-mlb-over-stalled-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a> on Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>University of Virginia law professor Gordon Hylton, who has studied the legal history of American sports, said he \"never thought that the division of the Bay Area into two distinct areas made much sense.\" He added that organized baseball's monopoly is \"almost certainly a violation of the federal antitrust laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hylton was skeptical a San Jose lawsuit against the baseball monopoly would succeed. \"San Jose would probably be better off appealing to Congress than the courts,\" Hylton said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2013/06/20/san-joses-lawsuit-against-major-league-baseball-is-weak/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Van Riper's column in Forbes\u003c/a> today, on the failure of the potential revocation of the exemption to solve San Jose's problem in any case ....\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The league could certainly maintain a degree of control of its franchises, as does the NFL and other leagues,” says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/colleges/university-of-notre-dame/\">University of Notre Dame\u003c/a>, who studies sports labor issues. “Removing the exemption doesn’t make it unlawful if it has merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit would conceivably include optimizing business by spreading things out in a way that makes sense. “The league has a legitimate interest in where its franchises are located,” says Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. “That includes being geographically disbursed for television and for sponsors.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network, said there is some precedent for teams successfully challenging their leagues for the right to relocate. He pointed to the San Diego Clippers' move to Los Angeles in 1984, which it did without permission from the NBA. The Clippers and the league settled in 1987, with the team paying the league $6 million and formally agreeing that NBA rules on franchise location are binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1982, Al Davis sued for and won the right to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles against a unanimous veto of the relocation by NFL owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE STADIUM ISSUE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another dispute that had its roots in displeasure over the Oakland Coliseum: City officials wouldn’t make improvements to the venue that Davis wanted. Leaving aside San Jose's legal case, I asked Maury Brown how much of the A's business problems have to do with the deficiencies of their stadium (now officially called O.co Coliseum, though, really, not by fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who grew up in the Bay Area and calls himself a “Finley kid,” said of the venue: \"It is the last multipurpose stadium available. It is really not terribly conducive to the whole ballpark experience, which is wholly unique in all of sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ballparks have this historical element, especially since the advent of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and this throwback thing. People really experience ballparks in a different way. I would have to say the stadium is probably a very key element in trying to allow them to be competitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of a new stadium in downtown San Jose is one thing that has tempted A’s ownership, though even if the move were approved tomorrow, that is not exactly a shovel-ready project and would require a referendum and the acquisition of additional land parcels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting a new sports venue built is no easy trick, said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballparks, there’s all these things that come into play – whether infrastructure has to be changed or modified to basically allow 20,000 to maybe 40,000 people to go into a certain area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be lots of individuals that say we want to have this happen, but when it really comes down to brass tacks, it can be exceptionally difficult.” “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that’s tempting the A’s is the lure of playing in the heart of Silicon Valley. As KQED’s Nina Thorsen reported in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\" target=\"_blank\">series on the stalled San Jose move\u003c/a> last year, \"These relocations are inspired not so much by the fan base or the availability of land, but by the proximity to corporations who are an increasingly important source of revenue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Vrooman, a sports economist on the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told Thorsen that corporate clients are the most important ticket buyers. \"It's true for the Sharks, it's true for the Warriors, it's true for the Raiders, and it's going be true for the Athletics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the non-corporate Oakland fan base of today, the uncertainty continues. As it does for the would-be fan base awaiting in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, the \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/\" target=\"_blank\">A's were in first place\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23485245/san-jose-sues-mlb-over-stalled-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a> on Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>University of Virginia law professor Gordon Hylton, who has studied the legal history of American sports, said he \"never thought that the division of the Bay Area into two distinct areas made much sense.\" He added that organized baseball's monopoly is \"almost certainly a violation of the federal antitrust laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hylton was skeptical a San Jose lawsuit against the baseball monopoly would succeed. \"San Jose would probably be better off appealing to Congress than the courts,\" Hylton said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2013/06/20/san-joses-lawsuit-against-major-league-baseball-is-weak/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Van Riper's column in Forbes\u003c/a> today, on the failure of the potential revocation of the exemption to solve San Jose's problem in any case ....\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The league could certainly maintain a degree of control of its franchises, as does the NFL and other leagues,” says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/colleges/university-of-notre-dame/\">University of Notre Dame\u003c/a>, who studies sports labor issues. “Removing the exemption doesn’t make it unlawful if it has merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit would conceivably include optimizing business by spreading things out in a way that makes sense. “The league has a legitimate interest in where its franchises are located,” says Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. “That includes being geographically disbursed for television and for sponsors.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network, said there is some precedent for teams successfully challenging their leagues for the right to relocate. He pointed to the San Diego Clippers' move to Los Angeles in 1984, which it did without permission from the NBA. The Clippers and the league settled in 1987, with the team paying the league $6 million and formally agreeing that NBA rules on franchise location are binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1982, Al Davis sued for and won the right to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles against a unanimous veto of the relocation by NFL owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE STADIUM ISSUE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another dispute that had its roots in displeasure over the Oakland Coliseum: City officials wouldn’t make improvements to the venue that Davis wanted. Leaving aside San Jose's legal case, I asked Maury Brown how much of the A's business problems have to do with the deficiencies of their stadium (now officially called O.co Coliseum, though, really, not by fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who grew up in the Bay Area and calls himself a “Finley kid,” said of the venue: \"It is the last multipurpose stadium available. It is really not terribly conducive to the whole ballpark experience, which is wholly unique in all of sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ballparks have this historical element, especially since the advent of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and this throwback thing. People really experience ballparks in a different way. I would have to say the stadium is probably a very key element in trying to allow them to be competitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of a new stadium in downtown San Jose is one thing that has tempted A’s ownership, though even if the move were approved tomorrow, that is not exactly a shovel-ready project and would require a referendum and the acquisition of additional land parcels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting a new sports venue built is no easy trick, said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballparks, there’s all these things that come into play – whether infrastructure has to be changed or modified to basically allow 20,000 to maybe 40,000 people to go into a certain area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be lots of individuals that say we want to have this happen, but when it really comes down to brass tacks, it can be exceptionally difficult.” “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that’s tempting the A’s is the lure of playing in the heart of Silicon Valley. As KQED’s Nina Thorsen reported in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\" target=\"_blank\">series on the stalled San Jose move\u003c/a> last year, \"These relocations are inspired not so much by the fan base or the availability of land, but by the proximity to corporations who are an increasingly important source of revenue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Vrooman, a sports economist on the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told Thorsen that corporate clients are the most important ticket buyers. \"It's true for the Sharks, it's true for the Warriors, it's true for the Raiders, and it's going be true for the Athletics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the non-corporate Oakland fan base of today, the uncertainty continues. As it does for the would-be fan base awaiting in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a nutshell, the A's want to move to San Jose and San Jose wants the A's to move to San Jose but the Giants, who own the territorial rights to the area, don't want the A's to move to San Jose. (Rankling the A's further: the team \u003ca href=\"http://www.athleticsnation.com/2012/4/18/2958535/territorial-rights-a-not-so-brief-history\" target=\"_blank\">actually ceded those rights to the Giants\u003c/a> in the 1990s, with no report of compensation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major League Baseball has been \"studying\" the issue since 2009, soon after the team abandoned a plan to move the team to Fremont. Virtually no progress has been reported.

In a nutshell, the A's want to move to San Jose and San Jose wants the A's to move to San Jose but the Giants, who own the territorial rights to the area, don't want the A's to move to San Jose. (Rankling the A's further: the team \u003ca href=\"http://www.athleticsnation.com/2012/4/18/2958535/territorial-rights-a-not-so-brief-history\" target=\"_blank\">actually ceded those rights to the Giants\u003c/a> in the 1990s, with no report of compensation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major League Baseball has been \"studying\" the issue since 2009, soon after the team abandoned a plan to move the team to Fremont. Virtually no progress has been reported. Actually, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/21/as-ballpark-watch-2013-unnamed-sources-say-something-might-have-happened-maybe/\" target=\"_blank\">strike the \"virtually.\"\u003c/a> But any comments from Major League Baseball on the issue have been, if anything, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/22/one-interpretation-of-mlb-commissioners-remarks-last-week-selig-to-san-jose-drop-dead/\" target=\"_blank\">discouraging\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland, of course, still wants to keep its team, and has proposed its \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_21251588/oakland-port-site-re-emerges\" target=\"_blank\">own alternatives\u003c/a> to the much-derided O.co Coliseum (formerly Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum), where the A's have played since 1968. (In an \"oh-no-they-di-in't\" moment, someone on the San Jose side of things even brought up the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23478623/oakland-owner-lew-wolff-says-coliseum-sewage-mess\">recent O.co sewage mess\u003c/a> at the lawsuit presser.) Though the city, fans and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/05/03/clorox-ceo-wants-to-keep-the-as-in-oakland/\" target=\"_blank\">business community\u003c/a> have pressed the A's to reconsider staying in Oakland, owners Lew Wolff and John Fisher have not appeared receptive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Mercury News columnist \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/mark-purdy/ci_23485648/purdy-san-jose-takes-big-swing-at-major?source=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Purdy is calling the lawsuit\u003c/a> a \"thoughtfully \"audacious move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If nothing else, this move may goad Selig and the other owners into action,\" he writes. \"No one likes to spend money defending themselves in a lawsuit. And the lead lawyer for San Jose in the case, Joseph Cotchett, has a national track record of challenging companies and corporations to the max.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSN Bay Area's \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/ray-ratto/closure-coming-san-jose-saga\" target=\"_blank\">Ray Ratto writes that the A's are most likely not in favor of the lawsuit\u003c/a>, because they have always made it clear they want to work through MLB. \"Nothing, after all, says low-percentage move quite like riling a large corporate entity with an antitrust exemption and established rights to deal with their own franchises as they see fit.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: Oakland Mayor Jean Quan weighed in with this statement ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Instead of lawsuits, Oakland is focused on building a new stadium for the A’s here in their hometown. We’ve offered two sites: Howard Terminal is a beautiful waterfront location facing the Bay, and Coliseum City is one of the great development projects of our time. Both would make fantastic sites for a new stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, we’re still negotiating a lease extension for the team and I’m confident we can reach a fair deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Oaklanders are the best, the loudest and the most devoted baseball fans in the nation. The Oakland A’s have the fifth highest increase in per-game attendance over 2012 in Major League Baseball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re ready to negotiate any time the A’s want to come to the table.

(Photo courtesy of Renegades)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Part of that article dealt with one team that has taken the league's egalitarian attitude toward participation by non-LGBT players to a new level – the San Francisco Renegades' roster consists of 11 straight and only four gay men. That situation in particular led to an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/24/in-san-francisco-softball-league-gay-and-straight-athletes-mixing-on-and-off-field/#comment-874585450\" target=\"_blank\">interesting debate in the post's comments section\u003c/a> about just how many straight softball players does it take to screw up the whole concept of a gay league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After we posted the article on Facebook with the question, “Should unlimited straight players be allowed on a gay team?” somebody posted this reply:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s like asking if women’s colleges should admit men.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not everyone agrees with that, as evidenced in some of the comments we received, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/06/04/gay-sports-leagues/#replies\">shown directly below\u003c/a>, edited for length and readability. Most of the remarks address the so-called 70/30 rule, which limits the number of straight players on a roster to three. The rule is in effect at the Gay Softball World Series, under \u003ca href=\"http://www.nagaaasoftball.org/docs/IofG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">guidelines\u003c/a> stipulated by the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAA). In 2008, a San Francisco team was disqualified from the series for fielding too many non-gay players, a disciplinary action that became the subject of a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Not-gay-enough-softball-players-settle-suit-2297778.php\" target=\"_blank\">lawsuit\u003c/a> that drew \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/30/sports/softball-case-raises-question-who-qualifies-as-gay.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">national attention\u003c/a>.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"replies\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I come from the south where if it were not for the 70/30 rule [limiting the number of straight players on a roster], I would not be playing softball today. When I heard Gay Softball, I tried it and loved it. If straight guys were there, I would not have gone. I come from Florida, not SF where it is OK to hold hands with another guy and straight people do not care. This is all about a straight team with three gay people on it. That's not inclusive. The rule is about balance and majority, not about exclusivity or telling straights they are not welcome. Since all the straight people are on the same team, what does this really promote?\u003cbr>\n--Robert\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My concern with the 70/30 rule is that we're essentially saying that manager/coaches or players that bring straight players to the league don't have the proper judgment as to the players' characters. Are we gays really that stupid? Limiting participation of straights that are kind, honest, respectable is reverse discrimination to me.\u003cbr>\n--JO\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule, while it may have been well-intended in the beginning, I believe now is divisive, proven by the process that occurred in Seattle [at the Gay World Series]. It's a witch trial! We should not subject individuals in proving their sexual orientation in any way shape or form and in any setting.\u003cbr>\n--Larry\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more gays isolate themselves in their own community - it only allows America to treat them as another minority, segregated from the masses.\u003cbr>\n--Fred F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I vote for no 70/30 rule and just 100% gays.\u003cbr>\n--idealgaysoftball\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It's an issue\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this whole issue may seem esoteric, it's actually one that many gay athletic teams have wrestled with. As commenter Robert alluded to above, for some gay athletes it goes to the heart of why they joined a gay team to begin with -- to find a safe and welcoming place where they can participate in athletics free of some of the heavy-duty hetero attitudes they may have encountered in gym class or previous forays into team sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98755\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/06/Tsunami-Water-Polo.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-98755\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/06/Tsunami-Water-Polo-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The San Francisco Tsunami water polo team (Courtesy SF Tsunami)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Tsunami water polo team (Courtesy SF Tsunami)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Tsunami is a San Francisco-based gay swimming organization. Its water polo team started out almost exclusively gay and lesbian, but now it's about 40 percent straight men, says John Kennedy, a gay team member who has played with the club 11 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy said that the team has tried to strike a balance between remaining competitive and keeping its LGBT identity. Unlike straight players who \"generally join the team with some skill set,\" Kennedy said, gay players are usually novices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the LGBT players that we end up recruiting have never played before. They might have swum competitively, but they probably did not play water polo in high school and college. The biggest challenge we’ve had is ... actively recruiting these new LGBT players and providing a practice environment that allows them to develop and become water polo players when most of them have had no experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So could the team, which competes primarily against straight clubs, perform better if they recruited even more non-LGBT players?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely,” he said. “That’s what we’ve had to try to moderate against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if he could ever see the team becoming predominantly straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing about water polo in the Bay Area,\" he said, \"is that there are many masters [adult competitive] teams out there, and other than our team, they’re all pretty much straight-identified. There are not so many options for LGBT folks that want to learn how to play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a lot of fundraising, and it’s practically all in the LGBT community, and I would not like a situation where we’re doing our fundraising ... and we’re not an LGBT team. If we’re fundraising in the community … our players should reflect that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Vella, the current president of the club, agreed that the team felt strongly about maintaining its LGBT identity, but that “our reality is that we aren’t a very popular sport, and if we get too hung up on labels we risk alienating our straight allies and impacting our numbers, our ability to pay for pool time and coaching, and ultimately our strength as a team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vella said that although he purposely joined a gay team in order to feel comfortable being out, he feels relaxed with his straight teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wasn’t sure how other teams would react to having a gay member on their team,\" he said. \"Now that I’ve been on Tsunami, I’ve seen that a lot of our players are friends with other [straight players] on other teams, and I’ve realized that maybe there was a little fear on my part that didn’t translate to the reality of the situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tsunami synchronized swimming team has seen an even bigger change in the sexual orientation of its members. Katie McCall, a former board member who still swims with the team (and who happens to be my sister-in-law), said the team started out in 2000 at almost 100 percent gay men but is currently down to less than a third that. The team now consists mostly of straight women. As with the water polo team, she thinks it has been much easier to recruit players who already have experience in the sport, which is almost exclusively dominated by females.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCall said she worries about the changing gender/orientation demographic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems to me like some of the straight women aren't as tied to the community of the swim team,\" she said. \"One has to be willing to brave the gay male scene at bars like The LookOut or Hi Tops to participate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team's founder, Bob Wheeler, said he has \"mixed feelings” about its current makeup. “They brought a lot of expertise to the team that we didn’t have, so we’ve learned a lot,\" he said of the straight swimmers. \"But on some level it’s become less unique. Now it’s primarily women and a few men, so it just sort of seems it loses some specialness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Kennedy, from Tsunami Water Polo, said the straight members on his team have gone the extra mile to fit in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of sexual orientation -- maybe it’s just this new generation, they’re not so hung up about the gay-straight thing. … They paint their toenails, they like to go to our fundraisers and wear a Speedo. I think it might just be a change in the times. Twenty- and 30-year-olds have less of an issue [with] playing on a gay team, ‘I need to guard my masculinity.’ The players that we attract don’t have those kind of issues by and large.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings up an interesting question ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why exactly do straight people want to play on gay teams?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My buddy Dan O’Connell, who is straight, has been playing in gay softball tournaments for 15 years. He had this to say about his fondness for these events:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the atmosphere of inclusiveness and camaraderie and team spirit that is much more consistent than in straight male leagues. It’s also great to be in a space with gay people where they can be themselves. If they are more macho, they can be macho. If they're [more feminine], they can be that way. If they can be both at different times, then they are both at different times. People can be themselves in a way they can't be at, say, work, even if they are out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me, I like the emphasis on sportsmanship and keeping the rabidity you often find in sports at any level to a minimum. As I wrote in my original post, I like to win, too, yet I have never felt the need to trash-talk opponents when there are metal bats in proximity. You don't see a lot of that in the SFGSL. And there’s really something to be said for a league in which chants of “ya gotta hit to run, ya gotta run to score, ya gotta score to win!” can break out at any moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, as other gay professional athletes declare their sexual orientation, as is bound to happen at some point now that the \u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jason-collins-gay-nba-player/\" target=\"_blank\">NBA's Jason Collins has taken the plunge\u003c/a>, it will be interesting to see if the idea of gay leagues becomes passe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are definitely arguments for moving past the idea of having a 'gay team,' as homosexuality becomes more mainstream and we seek acceptance within a broader community,” said Frank Vella, of Tsunami Water Polo. “But then again … I think [a gay team] serves a greater purpose by letting gays and lesbians know there is a place for them ... where they will never have to fear discrimination, prejudice or rejection for who they are.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

When I heard Gay Softball, I tried it and loved it. If straight guys were there, I would not have gone. I come from Florida, not SF where it is OK to hold hands with another guy and straight people do not care. This is all about a straight team with three gay people on it. That's not inclusive. The rule is about balance and majority, not about exclusivity or telling straights they are not welcome. Since all the straight people are on the same team, what does this really promote?\u003cbr>\n--Robert\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My concern with the 70/30 rule is that we're essentially saying that manager/coaches or players that bring straight players to the league don't have the proper judgment as to the players' characters. Are we gays really that stupid? Limiting participation of straights that are kind, honest, respectable is reverse discrimination to me.\u003cbr>\n--JO\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule, while it may have been well-intended in the beginning, I believe now is divisive, proven by the process that occurred in Seattle [at the Gay World Series]. It's a witch trial! We should not subject individuals in proving their sexual orientation in any way shape or form and in any setting.\u003cbr>\n--Larry\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more gays isolate themselves in their own community - it only allows America to treat them as another minority, segregated from the masses.\u003cbr>\n--Fred F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I vote for no 70/30 rule and just 100% gays.\u003cbr>\n--idealgaysoftball\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It's an issue\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this whole issue may seem esoteric, it's actually one that many gay athletic teams have wrestled with. As commenter Robert alluded to above, for some gay athletes it goes to the heart of why they joined a gay team to begin with -- to find a safe and welcoming place where they can participate in athletics free of some of the heavy-duty hetero attitudes they may have encountered in gym class or previous forays into team sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98755\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/06/Tsunami-Water-Polo.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-98755\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/06/Tsunami-Water-Polo-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The San Francisco Tsunami water polo team (Courtesy SF Tsunami)\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The San Francisco Tsunami water polo team (Courtesy SF Tsunami)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Tsunami is a San Francisco-based gay swimming organization. Its water polo team started out almost exclusively gay and lesbian, but now it's about 40 percent straight men, says John Kennedy, a gay team member who has played with the club 11 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy said that the team has tried to strike a balance between remaining competitive and keeping its LGBT identity. Unlike straight players who \"generally join the team with some skill set,\" Kennedy said, gay players are usually novices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the LGBT players that we end up recruiting have never played before. They might have swum competitively, but they probably did not play water polo in high school and college. The biggest challenge we’ve had is ... actively recruiting these new LGBT players and providing a practice environment that allows them to develop and become water polo players when most of them have had no experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So could the team, which competes primarily against straight clubs, perform better if they recruited even more non-LGBT players?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Absolutely,” he said. “That’s what we’ve had to try to moderate against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked him if he could ever see the team becoming predominantly straight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing about water polo in the Bay Area,\" he said, \"is that there are many masters [adult competitive] teams out there, and other than our team, they’re all pretty much straight-identified. There are not so many options for LGBT folks that want to learn how to play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a lot of fundraising, and it’s practically all in the LGBT community, and I would not like a situation where we’re doing our fundraising ... and we’re not an LGBT team. If we’re fundraising in the community … our players should reflect that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Vella, the current president of the club, agreed that the team felt strongly about maintaining its LGBT identity, but that “our reality is that we aren’t a very popular sport, and if we get too hung up on labels we risk alienating our straight allies and impacting our numbers, our ability to pay for pool time and coaching, and ultimately our strength as a team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vella said that although he purposely joined a gay team in order to feel comfortable being out, he feels relaxed with his straight teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wasn’t sure how other teams would react to having a gay member on their team,\" he said. \"Now that I’ve been on Tsunami, I’ve seen that a lot of our players are friends with other [straight players] on other teams, and I’ve realized that maybe there was a little fear on my part that didn’t translate to the reality of the situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tsunami synchronized swimming team has seen an even bigger change in the sexual orientation of its members. Katie McCall, a former board member who still swims with the team (and who happens to be my sister-in-law), said the team started out in 2000 at almost 100 percent gay men but is currently down to less than a third that. The team now consists mostly of straight women. As with the water polo team, she thinks it has been much easier to recruit players who already have experience in the sport, which is almost exclusively dominated by females.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCall said she worries about the changing gender/orientation demographic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems to me like some of the straight women aren't as tied to the community of the swim team,\" she said. \"One has to be willing to brave the gay male scene at bars like The LookOut or Hi Tops to participate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team's founder, Bob Wheeler, said he has \"mixed feelings” about its current makeup. “They brought a lot of expertise to the team that we didn’t have, so we’ve learned a lot,\" he said of the straight swimmers. \"But on some level it’s become less unique. Now it’s primarily women and a few men, so it just sort of seems it loses some specialness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Kennedy, from Tsunami Water Polo, said the straight members on his team have gone the extra mile to fit in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of sexual orientation -- maybe it’s just this new generation, they’re not so hung up about the gay-straight thing. … They paint their toenails, they like to go to our fundraisers and wear a Speedo. I think it might just be a change in the times. Twenty- and 30-year-olds have less of an issue [with] playing on a gay team, ‘I need to guard my masculinity.’ The players that we attract don’t have those kind of issues by and large.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings up an interesting question ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why exactly do straight people want to play on gay teams?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My buddy Dan O’Connell, who is straight, has been playing in gay softball tournaments for 15 years. He had this to say about his fondness for these events:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the atmosphere of inclusiveness and camaraderie and team spirit that is much more consistent than in straight male leagues. It’s also great to be in a space with gay people where they can be themselves. If they are more macho, they can be macho. If they're [more feminine], they can be that way. If they can be both at different times, then they are both at different times. People can be themselves in a way they can't be at, say, work, even if they are out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for me, I like the emphasis on sportsmanship and keeping the rabidity you often find in sports at any level to a minimum. As I wrote in my original post, I like to win, too, yet I have never felt the need to trash-talk opponents when there are metal bats in proximity. You don't see a lot of that in the SFGSL. And there’s really something to be said for a league in which chants of “ya gotta hit to run, ya gotta run to score, ya gotta score to win!” can break out at any moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, as other gay professional athletes declare their sexual orientation, as is bound to happen at some point now that the \u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jason-collins-gay-nba-player/\" target=\"_blank\">NBA's Jason Collins has taken the plunge\u003c/a>, it will be interesting to see if the idea of gay leagues becomes passe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
